Nice start Ian.

Quite uncanny how the pilot looks just like Kenneth Moore when he 'flew' a Hurricane (and Spitfire) in 'Reach for the Sky' - The story of Douglas Bader.

That’s who it is, I just couldn’t put my finger on who it was.

Got some paint on this now. Interior grey green. Going to start the detail painting now. Looking on line it looks like you could have the framework this colour or aluminium.

For such an old kit, it has quite good details. Looking good Ian

Nice start Ian, enough detail in the office to make it look great :thumb2:

[papa 695]

Got some detail painting done and Kenneth Moore is all put together and primed

I thought he looked a bit like James May.

[papa 695]

Got some more done with this.

[papa 695]

I will add the Pilot is nowhere near finished.

[papa 695]

Added some lead wire to the undercarriage cylinder and got it all painted.

[papa 695]

Got the cockpit and wheel wells weathered, I think it’s ready to put it all together now.

Coming along nicely. I noticed the wings seem to have very nice detail.

Thanks Colin, and yes there is some very nice detail on the wings.

[papa 695]

Got the cockpit fitted and the two halves put together, also the wings.

got the intake painted and put together, just a quick question? Would the area it sits be silver, or sky colour.

[papa 695]

Got a little problem, just starting the undercarriage and found a damaged support strut. Broken and a bit missing. It’s part 240.

So it looks like getting in touch with Airfix to try and get a new part.
